West Bromwich Albion manager Tony Pulis committed his near future to the club after signing a one-year contract extension on Friday.

The veteran manager, who has never managed a team that suffered relegation, will now stay with the club through the summer of 2018 with his previous deal set to expire at the end of this season. But Pulis said he has aspirations to make the club a top-10 side after finishing 14th last season.
"This is a time of great change at Albion and when that happens you need continuity. As I have said from the outset, I want to build things here and play my part in improving the club. You cannot do these things overnight but I do believe, step by step, we are making advances...We have a club which can aspire to be an established top 10 member of the football league everyone in the world wants to be part of. I want to continue to front that challenge." Oct 28 - 5:53 AM

The sale of West Bromwich Albion to a Chinese investment group represents a turning point in the club but where it goes from here isn't clear.

Tony Pulis voiced his frustration at the lack of transfer activity over the summer in no uncertain terms and was rumored to be considering quitting. Pulis decided to stay and now has a new owner to work with and, presumably, a changing board and philosophy to go with it. Both sides will need to decide how they feel about the other. Will new ownership be content with a manager who keeps his clubs up at the cost of entertainment value? Will the manager agree with the transfer approach of new ownership. It will be interesting to see what happens between now and January between the two sides as they figure it out. Sep 16 - 10:23 AM

Tony Pulis is set to be named West Brom head coach on a two-and-a-half-year deal to succeed the sacked Alan Irvine.

56-year-old Pulis, formerly manager of Stoke and Crystal Palace, is expected to be officially confirmed as the Baggies boss on Thursday. The BBC report that there are still some details to be decided, but the deal to make Pulis the club's fourth head coach in a year is expected to proceed without a problem after he was deemed more suitable than Tim Sherwood. Pulis will replace the outgoing Alan Irvine, who was relieved of his duties on Tuesday, with West Brom 16th in the Premier League, a point above the relegation zone with Irvine winning just four of his 19 league games in charge.

Bookmakers have suspended betting on Malky Mackay becoming the next Crystal Palace manager.

The majority of the UK sports media are reporting this as pretty much done, with Palace chairman Steve Parish set to appoint ex-Cardiff manager Malky Mackay to replace Tony Pulis. If confirmed, Mackay would join up with Cardiff's former head of recruitment Iain Moody at Selhurst Park, with the task of keeping the Eagles in the Premier League. Tue, Aug 19, 2014 11:09:00 AM
